Hasselbeck and Wallace are obviously locks to make the team, and a veteran addition would take up the final roster spot. As it stands, the battle for the #3 job will be between David Greene and Girban Hamdan. When camp opens on July 29, it will be 3 months to the day since Hamdan broke his ankle. If he is healthy, then it could be an interesting competition with Greene apparently underachieving to this point. Hamdan missed valuable time in passing camp, and it is hard to know if Holmgren's comments on Greene were cause for concern or meant to light a fire under the second-year player.
The problem for Hamdan will be that Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace will get the majority of action in training camp and the preseason to make sure they are ready to go, and he will have limited opportunities to make up ground on Greene. Travis Lulay will not get much action in camp, but he could find his way to the practice squad or to NFL Europe along with his former center at Montanta State, Jeff Bolton. Lulay faced lesser competition in Division I-AA and got away with a lot of "sand lot" football using his athleticism to make plays. He has the arm to make all of the NFL throws, so he could eventually make his way to the regular roster with some development, but not this year.
